The game at this time was much better than in the first game. Just now it was a short stalemate on the stage, and now it was a head-on stalemate on a hard bridge and a hard horse. The two sides were playing passionately, and Fan Xiaodong's forehand position was continuously explosive. Even though he was born with supernatural power, he later needed to shout to maintain his condition. Only his feet remained as stable as roots.
This is his greatest advantage, and it is also an advantage that few people in the world table tennis have so far.
If the lower body is stable, the balance is stable, and if the balance is stable, there will be no problem of posture deformation whether it is exerting force or catching the ball. This is like laying the foundation of a tall building. If the foundation is solid, no matter how windy or rainy the high-rise building is, or even swaying, it will never collapse.
As for the current situation, no matter how fiercely Fan Xiaodong exerts force, forehand, backhand twist, backhand, forehand, he always maintains the high quality of his offense, and all the balls can fall roughly where he wants them to.
This level of attack really made the spectators in the stadium feel numb. They looked at this 15-year-old boy, who was obviously not tall and plain-looking, but it was like seeing a ferocious prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex. The sound of the racket hitting the racket was just like the bloodthirsty roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Wang Chao, on the other hand, was like a small boat struggling to hold on in the storm. Looking at the scene alone, he was almost completely suppressed.
But the audience now is no longer the audience two days ago.
As laymen, they really couldn't understand the key points when the masters competed two days ago. However, through conversations in the restaurant, as well as a large number of popular science posts, literacy posts, and debate posts that appeared on European forums, as well as He Jingping's post-game interview yesterday, they have generally understood the subtle relationship between these players.
No one told them this before, but now that top coaches from China Table Tennis Center tell them these things, they are actually a little grateful.
They are now fully aware that Wang Chao is practicing the defensive theory he proposed.
He was playing Fan Xiaodong as another Hook.
In this case, no matter how shaky the scene looks, as long as Wang Chao is not really penetrated, the game is actually still evenly matched.
But the truth is once again in the hands of a few.
Qin Huachang, who was far away in the imperial capital, shook his head and sighed, saying, "A Long, turn off the live broadcast."
Sun Tianlong knew that the teacher's heart problem was serious, so he turned off the phone without any doubts.
"It seems that your junior brother is going to lose with a high probability." Qin Huachang was a little frustrated. "I have tried my best, but maybe I was too impatient... The current Xiao Dong is still too young compared to Wang Chao."
Obviously what he said was not a happy thing, but Sun Tianlong couldn't help but want to laugh.
The teacher is so interesting. When talking about Wang Chao, he always says "this comparison". Does this mean that he has recognized the power of Wang Chao from the bottom of his heart and put him together with non-human beings like Hook?
Of course, Sun Tianlong didn't dare to laugh, so he continued seriously, "Do you think my junior brother can't beat Wang Chao?"
Qin Huachang glanced at him, feeling a little strange.
He has been with Sun Tianlong day and night for 14 years, and he can be said to be the person who knows Sun Tianlong best in the world. In addition, he is very attentive, so he believes that Sun Tianlong should be able to see this completely, and there is no need to ask him.
So if A Long continues like this, does it mean that he was distracted just now?
Qin Huachang got distracted. He thought Sun Tianlong was worried about him.
"Okay, A Long, don't be distracted all day long. I just can't do it anymore and am just forced to leave Huaping. I'm not going to die soon." Qin Huachang took the initiative to comfort, "You have this free time, why not stay with me for a while while I am still in the imperial capital, otherwise it will be difficult for us to meet when I return to my hometown."
Sun Tianlong is quite sad at this moment.
He has been following Qin Huachang since he was a minor at the age of 17. Unknowingly, 14 years have passed. All the peaks and valleys, all the joys and sorrows, were all experienced by Qin Huachang with him. From being ignorant and crying secretly to now understanding the world and traveling around the world, Qin Huachang has protected him throughout his growth and maturity process.
His feelings for Qin Huachang are really deeper than those of his parents. Even though he has become more mature over the years, he feels more and more that his teacher is not a gentleman. He has big differences with himself in the handling of many things. But what is one sentence?
The dog does not think the family is poor, the son does not think the mother is ugly.
If possible, he would even give Qin Huachang ten years of life, just to make Qin Huachang feel better than he is now.
However, there is no such magic in the world.
So he sat there, took a long time to adjust his mood, and said with a forced smile, "Okay, let's talk about the competition... Although the teacher doesn't dare to watch anymore, I feel that the teacher must have some tricks up his sleeve, right?"
As expected, Qin Huachang liked this topic very much, and said with a smile, "Oh? Why do you see it?"
"If it is really a game that must be lost, the teacher dares to continue reading. After all, losing to Wang Chao is not unacceptable. On the contrary, it is a normal result that most people think."
Once Sun Tianlong gets serious, his analytical skills are also very strong. "Because there are still options, the teacher feels that there is a chance to win, but he feels that the chance is not great, so he worries about gains and losses. His heart can't bear it, and he has to shut down his phone and wait for the final result."
Qin Huachang was very satisfied. "A Long, you still understand me."
"That's right." Sun Tianlong said with a smile, "Didn't we agree that I will provide for you until the end of your life?"
These words made Qin Huachang's eyes turn slightly red, but he held back and said, "Do you know what Wang Chao's real weakness is?"
When this question was asked, the ward suddenly became quiet. Sun Tianlong frowned and thought hard.
In fact, the whole of Europe wants to know the answer to this question posed by Qin Huachang at this time.
Just like Hua Ping studied Hook, the most studied topic in the entire European table tennis community is "how to defeat Wang Chao".
This topic ranks first among forum discussion threads.
The second one is "How to beat Luo Jiu".
The third one is "How to beat Sun Tianlong".
This ranking is not surprising, because Sun Tianlong has been invincible for seven years, and everyone has discussed enough, so naturally they are a little slack. However, Luo Jiu has recently risen and lost the match against Hook last month. Therefore, everyone generally believes that he is easier to deal with than Sun Tianlong, which sparked a wave of discussion about him.
As for Wang Chao, before Swedish Open, his fame was naturally far less than that of the Chinese table tennis twins, but don't forget that what Hong Kong Open and Wang Chao did at the beginning of the year caused an almost devastating blow to the European table tennis world.
He broke into the quarterfinals on behalf of Huaping alone, and passed all the way, defeating three representative players from the three strongest European countries in three consecutive games. At the same time, he defeated the super targeted tactics developed by the European Coaches Alliance, and by the way completed the second super evolution, becoming the biggest winner.
After this battle, he is still considered inferior to Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong, but he has gained a higher degree of hatred than the Huaping Twins. You see, with such a high degree of hatred, it is not that difficult to defeat him. If he does not become the most popular number one, who will become the most popular number one?
But so far, no one has reached a clear conclusion after discussions in European forums.
In a sense, Europeans feel that Wang Chao is even harder to defeat than Luo Jiu. After all, he is a small silver coin.
And Luo Jiu can only be considered a smart person at best.
Sun Tianlong is even a gentleman.
Rohlskov once publicly expressed his opinion on the forum. "If you must say how to defeat Wang Chao, then there is no standard answer to this question. After all, he can hardly find any weaknesses in terms of player ability indicators. But of course he can be defeated, because the absence of weaknesses does not mean that he cannot be broken through. You only need to be stronger than him at a certain point, and then this point will become his weakness."
These remarks were supported by most industry insiders.
So when Qin Huachang asks this question today, naturally he is not looking for a universally feasible solution to defeat Wang Chao. Instead, he wants to ask Sun Tianlong, what is Wang Chao's biggest weakness in the face of your junior brother Fan Xiaodong?
Sun Tianlong thought for a long time, and finally gave his answer uncertainly, "Power?"
Qin Huachang nodded with satisfaction. "Yes."
Although the teacher was not watching, Fan Xiaodong was still trying his best to win.
The second game was his most ferocious game. He was attacking crazily from beginning to end, while Wang Chao held on tightly, without leaking a beat.
This game set two small records.
The first is the stalemate record of both players.
On a certain ball in the middle of the second game, the two fought for 27 boards, which happened to be exactly the same number of rounds as the two had a short fight in the first game. It was a coincidence.
But in fact, this stalemate is full of water, because all Wang Chao's forehand and backhand pulls are based on the idea of "guaranteing to let the ball get on the stage", and never exert more than the maximum force from the beginning to the end. This level of pull is essentially defensive, not offensive.
But from a formal point of view, as long as the ball is pulled with top spin, even if it is a lob, it can be classified as a stalemate, so this record still counts.
The second record is that two goals were broken in this game.
Yes, you read that right, in this round alone, the crazy Fan Xiaodong directly broke two balls.
This kind of atmosphere made the atmosphere at the scene almost crazy. Europeans generally have big hearts. Seeing this once-in-a-century event, they no longer care about being depressed that this is a civil war in Chinese table tennis. They shouted wildly and vented their passion. Many people even inexplicably became fans of Fan Xiaodong because of these two broken goals.
A player who can break two balls in one game is only 15 years old. No matter if you are a fan of such a monster, I am a fan anyway.
Unfortunately, by the end of the second game, Wang Chao still won 11:7.
It was very difficult for him to hold on, but in the end he managed to hold on.
Fan Xiaodong No matter how crazy he plays, he can't easily break through his defense.
But it is worth mentioning that the final statistical results showed that Fan Xiaodong scored 7 points in this attack.
This is a very exaggerated number.
Because he scored a total of 7 points in this game, all of which were offensive points.
Therefore, through this numerical analysis, the truly awesome person is Wang Chao.
Wang Chao lost all 7 points because he failed to defend the front and was penetrated. This also means that he did not make any mistakes in serving, receiving the serve, taking the initiative to attack, lucky balls and other factors.
His stability during the entire game has reached an outrageous level. Except for being hit from the front, there is no loophole left in him.
This kind of behavior already has some hints of Dragon Team's playing style.
Another scary statistic about Wang Chao is: his defensive score in this game was 7 points.
In other words, although he was penetrated seven times, he also defended Fan Xiaodong seven times, and the two sides were exactly tied.
But if he wants to score, he needs more than just defense. He can also serve, attack, and use a variety of techniques or tactics.
So he scored four extra points and won the game.
This game was so disappointing that many Swedish fans who had just become fans of Fan Xiaodong instinctively felt for their idol. This level of defense made them numb and despairing.
They were thinking, if Hook had met Wang Chao yesterday instead of Fan Xiaodong, would it have ended like this?
With Hook's mentality, if you encounter this situation, I'm afraid your mentality will collapse before you finish a round, right?
Such speculation has made European fans more and more pessimistic. The enthusiasm that was originally ignited in the past year to challenge China Table Tennis Team is almost completely extinguished.
On the contrary, it was Fan Xiaodong himself. During the break, he was sitting by the fence and drinking water calmly. His somewhat childish face did not show any expression of frustration or despair. Instead, his eyes were very bright, filled with eagerness to fight and burning fighting spirit.
He is a natural contestant, and the more adversity he faces, the stronger he becomes. Wang Chao continuously frustrated him in terms of touch and defense, but he was not knocked down, and instead showed a more determined fighting spirit.
The game isn't really over.
In the third game, he still had the last resort that the teacher told him to do.
(Remind everyone, Chapter 319 was blocked when it was updated yesterday, so many people didn't see it. If you haven't read it, you can go back and read it. It's not water, there is some useful information. The title is "The Secret of Luo Jiu", and you can tell it's not water at a glance. Okay, please forgive me: for the sake of my third update, please go and subscribe to it. It is 500 less than Chapter 320. The review mechanism is ruthless and ruins my youth!)
